Game Day Round 14, 2025: West Coast vs Carlton

[Mudguts12]

Houlihan running crazy subtle angles for sub.

 

[mitchzz]

Hutch, McCarthy, Hunt or Dewar for sub

Please for the love of god not Bo again, Mini

Relax, Mini said there's a 98% chance he won't be sub...

It'd be a pretty bad look for him if he did make him sub again

 

[bzparkes]

Would be pretty funny though, then just not bring him on at all, like he did with Grego in the preseason...

 

[Rowan18]

Optus ain't no fortress. We actually now have a losing record there (43-46). I could imagine our WL record in the past 5 years either.

Subi, now that was a fortress

Meh -take our record at subi from 06-10 and it would be pretty average too. We're close to turning around and should be getting more and more home wins next few years. Then it will average out.

Nah, it's only been one week that he ****ed up the sub and even then it was mentioned too many times cos he's so new he's never seen the inside of a coaches box before

 

[MeltMan]

Couldnt find this thread without the game day tag

Champion data starting to notice what we are trying to do.

 

[Astro7]

That’s a very depressing stat considering how good our record at Optus once was. Wonder how long it will take to get back over 50%

Will start to swing next season....might start tonite? (he said optimistically)

The sub is like the lotto, or a mystery prize - or in Bo's case, then it's a booby prize.(you get 5 mins on and here's a set of steak knives)

Is the AFL equivilant of swining selling home games? Opening up the relationship to other clubs.

 

[Shuestar13]

Definitely a chance Bo is sub and you would hope it is a case of a “last resort” and internally it has been communicated as to how and why.
As long as he gets a decent chance this week, that’s important.

 

[Hu$tler]

So disappointed in the club re Kelly.

Hard to take anything serious when he's named weekly.

 

[BSD]

Hutch, McCarthy, Hunt or Dewar for sub

Please for the love of god not Bo again, Mini

Dewar for his lack of discipline last week.

 

[Doashuey]

I'd be shocked. Surely it becomes Clay Hall.

I think Hall become Houghs replacement.
Look for a surprise sub that was named on field. Maybe Hunt?

 

[Biggie]

 

[Bender_]

Perhaps, but it'll also show some guts - if necessity dictates that Bo has to be the sub then so be it. Not doing the best thing for the team due to worrying about hurting Bo's and Dark Sharks's feelings would be piss poor and not the leadership this club needs.


*however it is debatable whether another player would be better placed to play as the sub today.

 

[stallon]

So I dont have to get up?

 

[Smotie2]

Surely not

Mini:
Shit. We ****ed up with Bo being the sub and only coming on for 5 minutes each game. That's on on me and I take responsibilty.
Oh btw the last laugh is on Bo cause he's the sub again....suck shit ****er"

 

[Smotie2]

Would be pretty funny though, then just not bring him on at all, like he did with Grego in the preseason...

It wouldn't be funny at all..
Wtf is wrong with you.

Strange take.

Making someone sub 3 weeks in a row after playing sub every game he's been named for us.
It's the best way to **** up someone's season and fitness. Then if he plays a full game game for us next week he struggles with touch and running out the game.

Nothing new there though
Maybe all of our players are subs.

Get this right in the off season (with a few strategic recruitments and luck with injury) and we will push for top 8 next year.

The melts on here would be hilarious.

 

[Doashuey]

Youse guys could be a good showing here, being at your fortress. Got to make sure youse guys get up, so’s we can improve our draft hand. Go the mighty Eagles.

Thanks. This is this weeks silver lining if we lose.

 

[Smotie2]

The melts on here would be hilarious.

And the melt from Bo as well yeah?

Ironic.
The club targets bo and trades pick 3 knowing all we want is Bo only tondo this to the kid.
